Description Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2005-11-07 11:56:25 EST 
Currently if you wan't to call editor or view popup menu (right-click on the
tab) this tab will be automatically activated, which means loading, initializing
or refreshing all the editor or view data structures. There are many cases when
such initialization is not really wanted by the usser (e.g. when he is trying to
close view or editor or change it to the fast view).

BTW popup menu on tabs in FireFox web browser does not activate tabls and that
works really nice.

Not sure if this would be fixed at the part or presentation level...

Is this still a problem in 3.3?

Yes it is. Both editors and views are activated when you right-click on their tabs in order to open popup menu.

See bug 112640 as well

The PresentationAPI has been deprecated with the Eclipse 4.x release and it has been replaced with the CSS engine. I therefore close this bugs as WONTFIX. In case your bug report is still valid for the Eclipse 4.4 release, please open a new bug report for it.
